Norse Research

Within the world of Skyrim, my graphic novel character 'Thod' is a 'Nord', clearly influenced and based on the Norse Vikings, on the visual aspects and ideologies the Nords share within the game, so I've decided to do background research on the Norse Vikings to link towards the 'Nords' and get background research to bring my character even closer to reality than the game alone would allow.
To begin my research, my tutor kindly let me borrow a DVD by the BBC, presented by Neil Oliver, on his journey across Scandinavia to discover the truth on who the Vikings really were, and I can honestly admit that this small insight to the Vikings beliefs and lifestyle has me truly intrigued and fascinated at their way of life and what various factors moulded them into these amazing beings. I've also managed to get my hands on the book of the series which I will soon begin to get even more information on the Vikings from the familiar source Neil Oliver.
